  • A High-Budget Online Docudrama Claims Crime Boss Daniel Kinahan Is the Victim of a Conspiracy Between a Rival Gang and the Authorities
    8 The Sunday Times May 24, 2020 NEWS Lights, camera, fabrication A high-budget online docudrama claims crime boss Daniel Kinahan is the victim of a conspiracy between a rival gang and the authorities. Crooks always love to rewrite history, finds John Mooney s video releases go on You- Tube, The Regency: Discover the Truth, was a short-lived affair. The 15-minute docu- mentary, about the paramili- tary-style assault on a boxing weigh-in held at the epony- mous Dublin hotel in 2016, was first broadcast on Sun- day night but taken down on Thursday over copyright infringement. IN PROGRESS ANo expense had been spared in the making of the production. The docu- drama featured actors, dressed as the garda’s emergency response unit and carrying imitation AK-47 assault rifles, sweeping through the corridors of a hotel in search of their target, Daniel Kinahan. At least 100 actors were hired for the shoot, which is thought to have been directed by a Welsh film-maker. Attention was paid to minute details — the produc- ers commissioned a replica of the Regency hotel’s welcoming mat — and there were even pyrotechnics: a getaway van explodes after being set on fire on a residential street. Lloyd James, a Welsh portrait photog- rapher, was hired to play the role of Kinahan, who in real life escaped from the venue by running through an emer- gency exit, though one of his friends, David Byrne, was shot dead. James dyed his hair and grew stubble to play the role. The propaganda film suggests the Regency attack was a conspiracy between a rival gang, the gardai and Fine Gael to win the 2016 election.

    N°347 – 24 au 30 septembre 2015 Huitième année BHIC N°347 – 24 au 30 septembre 2015 FRANCE Condamnation d'un caïd français de la drogue Stupéfiants>Grand-Banditisme>Cannabis> 23.09.15 | Site de Jérôme Pierrat Crimorg.com | 50091 Le Tribunal Correctionnel de Paris vient de condamner Djamel "James" Talhi, 39 ans, à 10 ans de prison, dont 6 ans et demi de sûreté pour trafic international de stupéfiants. Surnommé également "Johnny Depp", il avait été interpellé en mai 2014 avec de faux papiers et 2.000 euros en liquide alors qu'il conduisait sa Mercedes à Londres. Ce natif de Mulhouse originaire d'Algérie est considéré comme un important trafiquant de résine de cannabis en Europe, recherché par la France, le Maroc, l'Espagne et l'Italie. Talhi a été un des lieutenants de Sofiane Hambli, autre caïd de la drogue, durant les années 90 à Mulhouse. En juin 1997, Hambli et Talhi échappent au coup de filet lancé par les gendarmes (opération "Paco68"). Talhi est arrêté en juillet 1999 et condamné l'année suivante à 18 mois de prison. En 2005, son nom apparaît dans l'opération espagnole "Baleine Blanche" contre un vaste réseau de blanchiment. En 2007, le tribunal de Mulhouse le condamne par défaut à 9 ans de prison pour trafic de cannabis. En mai 2012, son nom apparaît à nouveau dans une affaire de saisie d'1,4 tonne de résine de cannabis à Malaga et d'1 million d'euros en France. Dans cette affaire, la police avait interpellé en France Vandykang Yuth, 36 ans, surnommé "le Chinois", considéré comme un important logisticien pour plusieurs réseaux d'importation de cannabis entre l'Espagne et la France.
